    BARGAIN chain B&M is buying 11 Focus DIY stores – saving 211 jobs. B&M, which already has 230 branches selling branded ­products at cheap prices, is acquiring the outlets from administrators handling the sale of collapsed Focus.

    Another 345 workers are being taken on by rival Wickes in a deal to buy 13 Focus DIY branches. But while B&Q has snapped up a further 31 stores, staff will have to reapply for their jobs.

    Some 2,500 Focus workers – including staff in 123 stores that are still up for sale – are awaiting their fate.
